Front Blades are a PITA
For those of us who take off and store a front blade in the summer, they can be a pain.
To save floor space, you pretty much have to stand them up on the face of the blade and keep them close to a wall so the sub-frame has something to lean against. Naturally, every time you get close to it the sub frame wants to fall over and the lift rod will never stay where you want it to. My remedy for this annoying problem is to drill and cut a small piece of steel and weld it to the sub-frame in such a place that you can attach the "loose" end of the lift rod thereby supporting the sub frame preventing it from falling over and it keeps the lift rod in one place. Then put it on one of those flat "wheeled furniture movers" and then you can easily move it around if you need to. When I first started doing this, I considered drilling through the sub frame, but didn't think it was a good idea to compromise its integrity. My reason for posting this now? I just did this one last night, it's been setting around in the way since I took it off this spring.

I have mine up against a wall with a tarp strap going across the sub frame and the lift rod so it doesn't fall over against the wife's car. 3 years so far so good. In the winter it holds up the mower deck on end.

That's a good idea. I'm going to do it. Those blades are like a trap waiting for one of my kids to bump into it

I agree, nicely done! I also use the furniture dollies, one for the blade and 2 for the snowthrower. They also work nice for keeping spare k-series motors on!

Store a snow blade
I remove the back ladder support frame. Remove the hyd cylinder with the front block; that attaches to the A frame. Remove the cotter pins and drive out the rod that secures the A frame to the blade. Remove the springs and store the blade on end. Store the A frame on end also.

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.
MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
